I'm guessing that most of you at some time or another have done a bit of welding without wearing a helmet or gloves, how do you rate this (1 out of 10) as being safe?
I've been watching a lot chopper building, OCC series is on freeview now, those boys often use the Mig to tack weld a piece in place without using protection, they also Tig with bare hands.
If you do this sort of thing everyday what's the chances of doing long term damage, skin cancer maybe?
I only use my Mig for DIY use, I guess a few times a year but I always wear the full kit, just don't feel right without it some how.
